Cahoots is a free and open-source, collaborative text editor.
Cahoots was developed in C++, and compiled with the Qt 4 development environment using the Qt Creator IDE available from Nokia at http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/.
Cahoots is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Binaries for the Windows and Linux platforms are available on the project's homepage.
Here are some key features of "Cahoots":
· Collaborative editing for documents
· Chatting
· Permissions management by the document owner
· C++ and Python syntax highlighting (abstract syntax highlighter for other languages coming later)
· Basic text manipulation (shift left/right, commenting for C++)
· Find dialog
